Question

Luca had a large container of yogurt with 1 5/8 pounds of yogurt left in it. If a serving of yogurt is 3/8 of a pound, to the nearest whole serving, how many servings of yogurt are in the container?

Answer 1

There are 4 and 1/3 servings of yogurt in the container. 

Answer 2

There are 4 serving in the container.

Explanation:

Given,

The total quantity of yogurt in the container =
`1(5)/(8)\text{ pounds}=(13)/(8)\text{ pounds}`

Also, a serving of yogurt is 3/8 of a pound,

Thus,

`\text{Total number of serving}=\frac{\text{Total yogurt}}{\text{Quantity of each serving}}`

`=(13/8)/(3/8)`

`=(13)/(3)`

`\approx 4`

Hence, there are 4 serving in the container.
